Press Council criticises media curbs

-The Hindu

In a letter to all PCI members, PCI secretary Anupama Bhatnagar said Ms. Bhasin’s petition was expected to come up in the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

New Delhi: Facing criticism over its stand in the Supreme Court that reasonable restrictions on free speech were acceptable when national interest was at stake, the Press Council of India (PCI) on Tuesday decided to tell the court that it opposes any restrictions on the media in Jammu and Kashmir.

Last week, the PCI had sought to intervene in the petition filed by Kashmir Times executive editor Anuradha Bhasin, who challenged the restrictions on communications in Jammu and Kashmir imposed since August 5, when the government announced the revocation of the State’s special Constitutional status and splitting it into two Union Territories. Phone and internet services have remained shut in the Kashmir Valley since then, while mobile internet remains cut in other areas of the State.

In a letter to all PCI members, PCI secretary Anupama Bhatnagar said Ms. Bhasin’s petition was expected to come up in the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
